    I can empathize with your difficulties, KW. When they came out with DVRs I was unimpressed. You couldn't just hit "record" when you saw something you wanted to tape. Your recording couldn't be brought to a friend's house, and the recording space was limited. I wanted a physical copy in my hot, little hands! So I never got a DVR. But now, one of my VCRs died. The other one has ancient connections and would not work with my new tv. (old one died). I bought a gizmo on amazon that was supposed to connect the two, but didn't work. So I've got these cool music award shows, etc from the early '80s that I can't play. Will have to try something else.

    Over a year and a half ago I shut off my DirecTV and WiFi. I am mostly next door seeing about my elderly mother. I had internet installed at her house, and watch her cable if there's something I can't miss. For now, if a show comes on while I'm at work (5 nights a week), tough luck!

    I hope you don't have to wait all day for the installers to show up!

    We cut the cord with Dish last fall and I certainly know how you feel too! We also have YouTube TV and I do have a cheap little dvr player that I can still use, but rarely do. Streaming is a bit aggravating since it doesn't come on the tube instantly like the shows on Dish did, but we're learning to handle it.

    All this technology stuff is a big pain for me!

    Ya well xfinity took awhile, but we are up and running. Like night and day compared to frontier for wifi. Still getting used to the xfinity interface, but so far so good. When the contract runs out, maybe I'll finally cut the cord as Brooke and Soda has done....freyfollower, I feel your pain too ! I have a ton of VCR tapes sitting collecting dust, I even have a vcr but have problems connecting as well. But at least this internet pain is over, it was hard going on the border with my phone! ☺

    P.s. I searched xfinity for Eagles content which didn t show anything except,REELZ breaking the band. I heard it's bad acting and wigs to boot. I wanna watch it for how bad it is....has anyone seen it?

    My husband would go through severe withdrawal without internet and wifi.

    As to "Breaking the Band", go here:

    And scroll down a bit to Soda's post. I think there's a discussion about it.

    Ha! What I expected, I'll probably watch just to see how bad it is. It's like why even bother if you are going to do a mediocre job? But wth I'll watch, then get mad at inaccuracies,etc and laugh at the acting...Ha ha. Sounds like a good time 😂

    Hope you've had a little bit of downtime, Soda to get yourself back in gear for the new semester.

    Well, I've already had some curve balls thrown my way and it's just the first day! It's going to be rough.

    I came home and was going to "just take a nap" and accidentally slept for FOUR HOURS, so now I'm wide awake at midnight... lovely!

    Don't you just love that? Hope your curve balls straighten out.

    Wasn't looking forward to this year when it was still last year. But... so far, so good. <knock wood>
